Kalyway on an External HDD + dual boot Vista/xp

[Lothar01]

Hi, first of all, I would like to thank all the people working on this project. I am new to osx and it's great to be able to test it.

 

then, well my problem. I am not a hardcore user, and not used to command lines, so please take that into consideration. Thank in advance.

I have an Asus G1s laptop (C2D T7500, 2go ram, 8600GT) and an external hdd of 500go. I have a modded bios to use osx.

 

I have vista and xp installed as a dual boot on the laptop.

The external hdd has two partitions: data and MAC OSX (its name) on which I have installed kalyway 10.5.2.

I boot with the dvd (-x -v cpus=1 rd=disk2s2 "graphics mode"="1680x1050x32@60") and it boots with native resolution and just rocks.

Its works without cpus=1 but, I don't if it changes something so I leave it.

 

Now, I am trying to make Leo to boot on the partition of the external hdd without the dvd and have followed a tutorial with a bootfix on a pendrive, but

but can't make it to work.

 

Fist, I have installed easybcd on vista and created an entry for osx.

then I put the bootfix files on my pendrive called 123 and boot kalyway:

 

I go to the terminal and put that:

 

fdisk -e /dev/rdisk2

fdisk: 0>update

fdisk:*0> f 2

“Partition 2 marked active”

fdisk:*0> w

Device could not be accessed exclusively.

A reboot will be needed for changes to take effect. OK? [n]y

Writing MBR at offset 0.

fdisk: 0> q

 

For me, it seems to be fdisk: 1 instead of 0, but I have read that is doesn't change anything.

 

Then I write:

cd /Volumes/123/files/bootfix

 

./dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/rdisk2s2 bs=512 count=1

umount /Volumes/MAC OSX (name of the partition where osx is is on my external hdd)

 

something tells me that the volume is not mounted or something like that.

 

then

./startupfiletool -v /dev/rdisk2s2 /usr/standalone/i386/boot

 

Normally it should work according to the tutorial.

I reboot, without the dvd and when it goes to the vista bootloader, I have

Vista

XP

NST Mac Osx, which I choose, but I get a black screen with the typical "_" flashing on and off.

 

So, after that what can I do to make osx boot please.... thanks a lot in advance.
